Jed Duvall is an award-winning tribute artist, whose recreations of music icons is, in the words of one fan, "So uncanny, it's almost spooky!" Whether it's portraying Elvis, Johnny Cash, or Paul McCartney, Jed is sure to add that edge to your event! Available as a solo act, or with a full band! In addition, Jed also performs with Gene "John Lennon" Feldman as "Two of Us; The Lennon/McCartney Tribute". Together they perform as an acoustic duo, playing songs from the greatest songwriting duo of all time! Imagine, having John and Paul at your next event!
Jed Duvall put on an amazing show as Elvis at my dad's retirement party. His communication was excellent throughout the process. He arrived on time -- dressed and ready to go. (We were a bit behind in our timeline, but he rolled with it and mingled with guests until we were ready.) His song choice and performance were both great -- and spot on for the group. And his singing voice is top notch -- he literally sounded like the one and only Elvis! Everyone enjoyed it -- and even danced! I would recommend Jed for any event you are hosting where you want to add something fun.
Response from Jed Duvall as Johnny Cash and Elvis:
Thank you so much for this review! You were an absolute joy to work with!
Mr Duvall was prompt, professional, courteous and above all, an excellent entertainer!
Jed was the perfect Elvis and it was a great surprise for my mom's birthday in front of family and friends. Jed was super professional, communicative, and very easy to work with. Definitely recommend!
This was my first time booking an act like this and given the fact it was for a church celebration, pressure was high! There are many impersonaters and they all put their best clips forward but you never REALLY know what you are getting until they are there in person. With Jed I was even more unsure what to expect given that he impersonated other celebrities as well but let me tell you - he does Elvis as if it's the ONLY celebrity he impersonates! He was incredibly good! When he started singing I immediately relaxed. EVERYONE was so impressed with him and he really made the night a success! Not everyone walked in knowing they liked Elvis' music but they certainly walked out huge fans! He did a 30 minute set of slower Worship songs per request and still managed to keep the crowd engaged with his personal gravitas. The upbeat songs he sprinkled in had us all bouncing in our seats! He then stayed around for pictures afterward and mingled with crowd. He never broke character and remained energetic throughout! And booking was a BREEZE. He kept in clear communication the entire time and was able to pivot and quickly adapt to an entrance change. I'd give Jed TEN stars if I could! Job really, really well done. Book him today - YOU WON'T REGRET IT!

Jed Duvall gave an outstanding performance of not only Paul McCartney, but Johnny Cash and Elvis too!!! He added his own humor and showmanship to make it truly personable. He was. Very much focused on the "vision" I had and helped develop it into a complete show. It was a private, personal concert. His attention to detail was impeccable. Thank you. -Don S
Jed was such a fun performer ! His ability to roll with the guest of honor and guests requests was admirable! Everyone had a blast and a week later, I am still getting text about what a great event we hosted. Thanks Jed!

Jed showed up was set up and performed in the heat and never took a break included the audience and was very sweet. I would highly recommend him as Elvis
Jed was very professional and engaged with the audience during his hour long performance. He entertained with Johnny's classic songs the audience remember so well. Jed is a talented entertainer.
Jed performed as Elvis for my father's 70th birthday party. He was absolutely top-notch from start to finish. He sang all my father's favorite songs and really looked and sounded like Elvis. Several of the guests told me how impressed they were by him. After the show, he was extremely patient as he was asked for photos with seemingly every combination of guests. Just a completely wonderful experience -- I cannot recommend him strongly enough.
Response from Jed Duvall as Johnny Cash and Elvis:
Thanks so much for this, Bob--you and your guests were extremely friendly and really got into the show! It was a pleasure performing for your dad and your guests!
Had Jed do Elvis for our family Christmas party and he was absolutely amazing! He performed all our favorites and had fun with all...young and old.
Jed really brought our party to life with a great performance. He has a great voice that truly brought Elvis back to life. His jumpsuit outfit was top notch. He was very interactive with Gail and our guests even including our dog in his Hound Dog song. Everyone really loved him. He is a true professional in every way both in communications before the event and on the day showing up exactly on time. I highly recommend him for any event you want Elvis to attend!
Jed Duvall carried Elvis off like a pro. Was flexible and accommodating on favorite requests ahead of time that were so meaningful to my husband. Sang "Sweet Caroline" and "Georgia", our daughter's names, plus others that are my husband'a favorites.
He truly captured the crowd and put party over the top with compliments from our guests that keep pouring in. Don't hesitate to book him to make your event a memorable one!

If you need someone to impersonate Elvis, Jed is the right person for you! If you need an all-around brilliant entertainer, Jed is the right person for you! We will definitely engage him again, and we're happy to provide an outstanding referral and reference!

Gig Length: 30 - 180 minutes
Jed and the Band are full service, and have all equipment necessary for a full show (including lights, PA system, etc.) The band plays up to three hours with two 20 minute breaks. The set list varies according to the needs of the client. Requests for specific songs are usually no problem, as long as they are presented to the act so that the band can master unfamiliar selections. Past clients (especially those on a corporate level) have provided risers or a stage of some sort, and a minimum of 250-300 square feet (about 16' x 8') is a requirement for the amount of equipment used in an average performance. Jed also performs as a solo act, with professional backing tracks, and provides a full system or a smaller portable sound system, depending upon the needs of the client.
Jed Duvall is an award-winning tribute artist/impersonator with over thirty years of on-stage experience. He has performed in small local nightclubs and large concert venues, and his recreation of music legends is uncanny. But who is he, and how did he get into this?
Jed was born in Washington, DC, but was actually raised in the small tobacco farming community of Croom, Maryland. Living in such an isolated area, he relied upon his imagination for entertainment. In school, Jed participated in many local dramatic productions, as well as sung in his church choir. It was no surprise that at an early age, his goal was to become an entertainer, either acting in Hollywood or touring with a band. But his aspirations were altered in 1978, when high school was treated to a performance by a local Elvis tribute artist. "He was so commanding onstage, and made such an impression on the audience—especially the girls—I decided I wanted to do that, as well". Two years later, he entered his high school talent show as "Elvin Preston"—and bombed. "I think they had twelve contestants, and I came in 11th place", he laughs. "And the judges were pretty merciless". But undaunted, he continued to impersonate the King of Rock and Roll, even after joining the Army in 1980. And in the spring of 1981, he entered a contest held on post—again, as "Elvin Preston"—and won.
After his discharge in 1983, Jed auditioned for the American Academy of Dramatic Arts in New York, and was accepted for their two year program. "What I learned there—movement and dance, vocal production, acting techniques, and even makeup—would be valuable lessons I use to this day". But even as he attended classes during the day and worked nights, he continued his tribute to Elvis, winning a major contest in New York City, and invited to portray young Elvis in "Elvis; An American Trilogy", a production that ran in various venues during the mid-1980's. Jed also sang in various bands, including the Hell Hounds and the Brothers of Doom (in which he was known as "James Doom"). But as the years went by, Jed longed for security and a family. He went back to college and graduated with a bachelor's degree in Digital and Imaging Arts from the University of Maryland in 1996. And that same year, he married his wife Kim, and helped to raise Kristi and Josh, Kim's children from a previous marriage.
Skip to 2005. By this time, Jed had been working as a digital imager for nearly ten years, but the itch to perform persisted. He began doing community theater in the Baltimore area a few years before, and in May, 2005, entered his first Elvis contest in a decade. Seeing the amount of Elvis tribute artists already established, Jed was more than willing to try his hand at other personas. In 2007, he started his tribute to Johnny Cash, and together with his Elvis act, found himself performing more than ever.
Today, Jed continues to be a sought-after tribute artist, and his performances have taken him all over the country. But he enjoys the home he shares with Kim in a small town outside of Baltimore. And if you drive by and he's on his lawn tractor, you can still hear him singing the tunes of his youth.
